- This federal contract award (No. 80NSSC20K1627) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the Antarctic ice sheet. The $76,472.19 grant aims to use altimetric and surface velocity data to perform time-dependent inversions for basal friction and rheological parameters that govern ice flow. This award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is a leading...
- This is a $104,999.11 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) on September 1, 2015. The purpose of the grant is to investigate "Triggers for the Collapse of Ice Shelves in Antarctica: Investigating Compressive Arch Failure." This research aims to understand the forces that contribute to the breakup of ice shelves, which are floating extensions of continental ice sheets that play a...
- This $738,791 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to enhance, develop, and maintain land-ice and ocean data products for the ICESat-2 mission. The contract is a grant for research with no set-aside designation, and it has a period of performance through February 28, 2026. UW is a leading public research university that frequently secures prime contracts, grants, and subcontracts...
- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC21K0142 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to develop observationally constrained models of the life cycle of snow over ice sheets. The $97,725.57 grant will leverage satellite measurements, existing airborne and in-situ data, and modeling to better understand snowfall, accumulation, redistribution, and runoff over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This research aims to...
- This is a federal contract award to the University of Washington for research services related to modeling the response of the Smith/Pope/Kohler glacier system in West Antarctica to different initial conditions and parameterizations of sub-shelf melting and ice shelf weakening. The contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, with a ceiling value of $99,370.82 and a period of performance ending on February 11, 2020. There is no...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1740, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to support the continued development of sea ice algorithms for the ICESat-2 project science office at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The $100,000.00 grant for research contract does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington, as the prime contractor, will collaborate on this effort. The award...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AK43G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to develop a suite of interrelated sea ice climate indicators to better track the seasonal evolution of the Arctic sea ice cover. The $210,359 grant will fund the production of historical time series data on sea ice melt onset/freeze-up, retreat/advance, and fetch from 1979 to the present, including trend and variability...
- The University of Washington was awarded a $450,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The grant is for cryospheric studies to improve estimates of sea ice trends and variability over the last two decades through data assimilation, and to investigate the mechanisms explaining the observed trends and variability. No set-aside designation was used. The period of performance is from March 15, 2021 through March 14, 2025. The award was made directly...
- This federal contract award, valued at $367,366.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct an "Ice Mass Balance Inter Comparison Exercise" research project. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UW, a prominent public research university, has extensive experience supporting federal agencies through contract and grant awards across various...
- The federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K1449, is for a grant to the University of Washington to conduct research on "APPLICATION OF NEW IN-SITU AND REMOTE SENSING TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING ANTARCTIC SEA ICE DYNAMICS AND THERMODYNAMICS." The award, valued at $461,000.00, is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, and has a period of performance ending on September 30, 2027. The University of Washington is the prime...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AG54G, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The $750,286.13 grant funds research to analyze changes in the elevation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet over a 15-year period, using data from various satellite missions. The goal is to provide a longer-term context for interpreting observations from the upcoming ICESat-2 mission, which will measure ice loss in the region. The research aims to characterize the evolution of spatial patterns of ice sheet thinning over time and the processes driving these changes, particularly near the grounding lines of key glaciers. This work will help improve projections of future ice sheet loss in West Antarctica. The contract does not have a small business set-aside designation.
